3. You have a variable-voltage power supply and a capacitor in the form of two metal disks of radius 0.6 m, held a distance of 1 mm apart. What is the largest voltage you can apply to the capacitor without the air becoming highly conductive

The breakdown of air occurs at a maximum voltage of 3kV/mm.

Explanation:

The breakdown of air occurs at a maximum voltage of 3kV/mm.

At this level of voltage the air between the plates become highly ionised and breakdown occurs. Since, the distance held between the plates is 1mm , it can withstand a maximum voltage of 3 kV.

After this voltage the air will become conductive in nature and will form ions in the air between the plates and ultimately breakdown will take place with a flash.

think its the third option

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
